file rename utils
-----------------

1.7.1

Fromto didn't prev. handle string targets such as "-p": but I found a way to make "replace"
play ball.. Really i should hack replace to print the number of matches it makes to stdout,
which would make for better feedback, but I'm loathe to do any C coding in this project.
(Shell rules! - well it's not too bad). The other option to get "matching counts"
in fromto is to use sed+grep or awk... but that's just asking for trouble.

1.7

I finally got the jack of the perl "far" fetch and replace string utility
when I realised it re-timestamped all files ~reguardless~ of whether they were altered!
So I wrote my own utility - fromto - utilising MySQL's replace utility.

1.6

Somewhere, KDE has gotten a more complex trash can. KTrash is compatible
with the newer Trashcan, but doesn't replace Trash which works with earlier 
versions of KDE.

1.5

To implement the mv_number programs I had to do some a little rearranging for
the first time in ages and I also reformatted the program spacing to all tabs
(tabstop 4). ... Hopefully no bugs got out.

1.4.2

Trash finally has a per-user config files :)
New feature mv_chars2underscore replaces mv_vfatillegal2underscore.

1.4

Trash is getting more bullet-proof...
I've been using it for ages without any hiccups, but I do run "root"
as my everyday login so there may still be issues with user level use.

I've also put together a FreeBSD package... available at:
www.sourceforge.net/projects/filerenameutils

Thanks to Sourceforge for hosting my little project.

1.3.2

Trash (finally) handles non-unique directories, recovers files matching
patterns, and works properly if the only file(s) in the Trash are hidden.

1.2

... Lowercase seems pretty robust, so I've added a substitute 
feature, mv_sed.

Thanks to the authors of the Gnu shell and *nix utilities,
and everyone behind Linux and FreeBSD.
